Way to deal with flying/floating dead bodies?

[Macro]

Anyone have any idea? I've been having this problem often recently and I'd like to know how you guys deal with it.

We have admins who cheat ghost their way up to it, take all the stuff from it, and return it to the player.

DO NOT drag it back above the surface (if it fell beneath the world) or down. It risks becoming unlootable (Has not been repeated yet).

Otherwise, using a terradon or argaventis to fly up to it and loot it.

No no, i mean dinos ahaha sorry. But speaking of human bodies, a couple of my tribe mates would go offline inside the house and then a couple of hours later, they're below it. The body somehow fell underneath wooden frames?

my megladon got killed and floated in mid air couldnt reach it at all so lost the saddle we farmed so much to get lol

Yeah it seems like the problem is when the dinos are moving and you kill them. For example if a trike is running full speed at you and you kill it with an arrow, the body has a chance of rocketing forward ot up. I have no idea why

But flying up? I understand sliding forward but up 20 feet?

Please fix this.
Its really stilly when chasing a dead body is harder than killing it the dino in the first place.

Besided flying up into the air they also race along the ground, which is really annoying when they shoot into the ocean.
Simple fix , when dead set velocity to ZERO.
In fact other than when they are in drag mode, just stop any dead corpse from moving.

I believe I lost my body once due to this. Died right near by base (with a bed in it), was back at the spot in under a minute. No body to be found.

Also I have this theory that players who do not have aggro with a dino are immune to accidental dino damage, ie bronto tail. However their tamed dinos are not. hence they start fights with brontos the instant they get tail whipped.
